LOL at 'are you a rockstar?'


So ****ing true. I get tickled pink by officecels when they cope with that kind of lingo. Some of the **** I've heard:

- "I need people who can grind here" === "I need other unfulfilled losers to sit in front of an excel spreadsheet for 12+ hours a day but need a verb to feel cool about it"
- "we are the quarterbacks of the company" === "I was never the QB in anything ever. In fact my entire life was spent on the sidelines watching the real QBs of life, but now that I have some minor degree of importance I need to relive my high school fantasies. I also have a dad bod and am out of shape"
- "so and so is an absolute rock star" === "so and so works twice as much as everyone else, sells their soul to corporate networking, life out of work involves talking about work or gossiping about coworkers, likely has no major hobbies, interests, other cash flowing investments, etc. all this to get paid maybe 10% more than their peers and promoted a year or two earlier."
- "we work hard but we also play hard" === "If doing this soul sucking job for 60 hours a week wasn't enough, we also have plenty of happy hours, work dinners, and drink in the office that you will be expected to attend - especially if you want to advance in your career. All of us were the losers in high school and college that never got a chance to party, so now is our chance to play catch up and get drunk, hit on each other, gossip about who is sleeping with who in the office, etc. all in the middle of the week. Also because of this lifestyle we all are fat, overweight, have no real hobbies or interests".



Just lol have heard and seen it all before.

Lol brutal, I may be an office officecel but at least I'm not a corporatecel

I’m starting my day tomorrow with a dispatch to replace a UPS at one of our clients, and then I’ll be heading into the office.

In IT you get to be both a tradie and a cubecel. The ultimate cuck.

Bro how the **** are not on that remote work time in IT?

We do a one week WFH/ one week in office rotation. Plus I do dispatches.

Honestly I think I’d go crazy WFH every day so I’m actually pretty happy we do a rotation. Did WFH from March to to July last year and I was getting tired of it by then and was glad to get on a rotating schedule

Just shows everyone is different. I can never go into an office again lol. I am good.

It could be just some deep seated cope on my part too. But yeah I don’t mind going into the office every other week at all. It’s a mom and pop shop so it’s not soul crushing and the days fly by whether I’m home or in the office.

Everyone has to drive back tonight except for the 2 guys who own their own business."

I have friends who are personal trainers who own their own business; and if they had an early morning client they would do the exact same thing. Not sure what your point is...

Personal trainers aren't business owners..

Once I read 4 hour workweek, all I did for 2 years was try to negotiate WFH. It makes the wageslaving feel much less wageslavey.

But yeah the corporate type environments are brutttalllll.

Ok so who owns their facility?

These are trainers who own their own studio.

It's only 6pm here, so I'm not even thinking about work yet. I won't think about work until 9am tomorrow, so I'm not sure why you're lol'ing now.

Marketing exec is pretty cushy at least, right?

Taking my accolades to work so I can flex on them in case they wanna think about letting me go.

Have any of your unaware friends or family seen your trophy yet? That's a pretty sick flex.

I am truly happy knowing that my hard work means Mr noseberg will be able to buy his daughter, Paris, a new sports car for her birthday.
